Week of October 29th

Welcome to another wonderful week of kindergarten!  This Wednesday, October 31^st, is Halloween and we will be having a very small party that day.  I will put a sign-up sheet on the door, if you would like to bring something in please put your name down.  Please only bring in what you sign-up for, we always end up with so much extra food every year and we want to try and avoid that this year.

This week homework will go home today, Monday, and is due on either Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. I know that this week can be a little hectic with all the parties and trick-or-treating so I wanted to do a fun, get to know you, homework this week.  Attached to the reading log is a white paper bag and I would like your student to choose 4 things that fit in the bag that are some of their favorite things or are very important to them.  Please only choose 4 things to put in the bag.  Have fun with this and keep reading this week! J

Also please count with your student to at least 50 every night. 

 I would like to thank all of you parents for filling out field trip permission forms and sending lunches on the day of the field trip.  We had so much fun and we couldn’t do it without you.  I would also like to thank all the parents who were able to come on the field trip last week. It was a long day but so much fun!  If anyone has great pictures from that day if you could email them to me that would be fantastic.

Peanut is really enjoying his weekend getaways with all of you, he tells us about them every Monday J If you have already taken Peanut home this year, please feel free to sign up for another weekend again!  There are also long breaks, like Thanksgiving and Christmas that we will be looking for a kind family to take Peanut home.

This Friday, October 26^th, is our school’s Harvest Festival!  This is a very fun night during which your student may wear their Halloween costume and come play games and win prizes.  There is lots of food and fun and all the proceeds go to buying new technology for our school.  If you are able to volunteer at our golf game that night please sign up on our door.  Thank you for your help!

This week homework will go home today, Monday, and is due on Friday.  There is a new paper in your student’s homework packet this week.  Ask your student the questions and then record their response.  We are working on listening to the text to find the answers to questions.  We will be learning the letter I and its sound this week as well as blending more sounds together to make new words!  In science we are learning about Drug Awareness and how we can make our body’s happy and healthy!

Also please count with your student to at least 50 every night.
